The official website for the Persona 5 video game updated with character descriptions. The characters, with their previously-announced cast members, are:
Jun Fukuyama as Protagonist, the person who is considered the leader of the phantom thief group.

Ikue Ohtani as Morgana, the most mysterious part of the phantom thief group. Morgana has the height of a child and the appearance of a black cat, but Morgana's identity is completely unknown.
